About this book

Former FBI agent Rebecca West arrives at Shadow Island intending to rest, but becomes Interim Sheriff of a small department mourning their deceased boss and friend. Before she can step down from the position, an eight-year-old girl on vacation goes missing after being last seen drawing with chalk outside her family's rental. Uncertain whether the girl wandered off, was pulled by the tide, lured away, or fell victim to something more dangerous, Rebecca investigates. When two similar abductions occur nearby within a week, she fears the worst. With limited deputies and the circumstances of Sheriff Wallace's death still affecting the department, Rebecca and her team race to find the missing girls before time runs out.
